Has anybody used VR lenses for wakeboarding pictures? I am wondering if it works to help stabilize the image or if it hinders the process?

I have been looking at the new Nikon 18-200 VR lens for my Nikon D50 <http://www.kenrockwell.com/nikon/18200.htm>. I have been using the 18-70 for general pictures and my 70-200 for wakeboard pictures with good success but I really like the idea of being able to do everything with one lens.
